...Littlefork, Minn., a lunchroom last week regaled diners with a new delicacy -beaverburgers (made from beaver). U.S. citizens were eating horse, rabbit and squirrel in quantities worthy of note.

Weekly one of a coterie of ministers performs the same function for him in his Peoria plant's lunchroom for minor executives. To meet his preaching schedule he travels in his own eight-passenger Lockheed plane-big enough to carry a soprano known as "The Gospel Nightingale" and the (Negro) Carolina Gospel Quartet. Dirt-mover LeTourneau calls his church the Christian Missionary Alliance, and has preaching engagements for the next 14 months...
